peer

1. a member of a nobility; nobleman 2. a person who holds any of the five grades of the British nobility: duke, marquess, earl, viscount, and baron

Peer

 

the title of a representative of the higher nobility in Great Britain and France. The title first appeared in the Middle Ages. In France it was eliminated in 1789 but temporarily revived during the period from 1814 to 1848. In Great Britain the peerage still exists. Peers have the right to membership in the House of Lords.

peer

[pir] (communications) A functional unit in a communications system that is in the same protocol layer as another such unit.

peer

(networking)A unit of communications hardware or softwarethat is on the same protocol layer of a network as another.A common way of viewing a communications link is as twoprotocol stacks, which are actually connected only at thevery lowest (physical) layer, but can be regarded as beingconnected at each higher layer by virtue of the servicesprovided by the lower layers. Peer-to-peer communicationrefers to these real or virtual connections betweencorresponding systems in each layer.

To give a simple example, when two people talk to each other,the lowest layer is the physical layer which concerns thesound pressure waves travelling from mouth to ear (so mouthsand ears are peers) the next layer might be the speech andhearing centres in the people's brains and the top layer theircerebellums or minds. Although, barring telepathy, nothingpasses directly between the two minds, there is a peer-to-peercommunication between them.

peer

On the same level or providing the same function. In networking, a peer is a node that provides the same functionality as another. For example, two desktop PCs in a network are peers. A desktop PC and a server are not peers as they perform different operations. The desktop PC may query the server for business data, but the server does not query the PC for the same data. See peering.

(pēr) [ME.] One who has an equal standing with another in age, class, or rank.

peer


peer

n. an equal. A "jury of one's peers," to which criminal defendants are constitutionally entitled, means an impartial group of citizens from the judicial district (e.g. county) in which the defendant lives. It does not mean a jury ethnically, educationally, economically, or sexually the same as the defendant, although, in some jurisdictions attempts are made to meet those criteria. (See: jury of one's peers)

peer

originally a person with a right to be summoned to Parliament and a hereditary right for his heirs to be so summoned, now created by letters-patent. Disputes as to entitlement are made to the House of Lords on the advice of the Committee for Privileges. The order of precedence is dukes, marquesses, earls, viscounts and barons. As a result of reforms to the House of Lords in 1999 there are only 92 hereditary peers remaining pending further reform.

PEER. Equal. A man's peers are his equals. A man is to be tried by his peers.
2. In England and some other countries, this is a title of nobility; as, peers of the realm. In the United States, this equality is not so much political as civil. A man who is not a citizen, is nevertheless to be tried by citizens.
